Beyond K-drama:
Faith and Personal Worldviews
24-25 Aug
La Salle House

What makes you keep watching K-dramas?
When something moves you, how do you bring it to prayer?
In this retreat, we will reflect on and pray with common K-drama themes--how do they affect us, how do they affirm our worldview or open us to seeing things differently, and how do they strengthen or challenge our faith perspective.
This retreat, therefore, is for the K-drama enthusiast who truly desires to deepen his/her relationship with God, and to "find God in all things.”
